“What kind of teacher should I be?”
Again, ask the special education teacher!

This book is about the names, expertise, classes, and students of special education teachers, told by a special education teacher who asks himself, "What kind of teacher am I?" and "What kind of teacher should I become?"

Am I a special education professional?
The first edition, which contained the struggles and growth of a new special education teacher, received much attention from readers. In this revised edition, the author shares his deeper perspective and richer experience as a mid-career teacher.
The various teaching cases still contain rich content that can be applied in the classroom.

- Am I properly fulfilling my role as the heart of special education?
The author, who has said that special education teachers are the "heart of special education" in the sense that they are the main players who must play a role in ensuring that students with disabilities are properly provided with the education, systems, and support they need, raises a question again.

- Am I a special education professional with a good balance of theory and experience, learning and practice?
“For special education teachers, simply graduating from college and having experience in the educational field is not enough.
We must continue to build theory and experience by meeting students with disabilities in educational settings.
“Special education teachers, more than anyone else, must be professionals who possess a balance between theory and experience, learning and practice.”

If you find yourself using the word "diversity" despite lacking the expertise to do so, you may be falling into the "diversity trap."
The way to avoid falling into the trap of diversity is simple.
It is important to be able to systematically understand the various characteristics of students requiring special education.
All you need to do is define various behavioral characteristics and plan and operate various teaching/learning and evaluation methods according to educational needs.
Rather than using the word 'diversity' to make something seem like something, what is needed is expertise to 'realize' 'diversity' in curriculum operation and individualized education.

What do I look like now?
We need to reflect on ourselves to see if we are ‘loving the same way but in different ways’ or ‘loving differently but in the same way’.
Obviously, if you run a class and teach, you will have more beautiful and lovable students.
Then, true to that feeling, give the student another loving look and hold his or her hand one more time.
